Secure Freedom Minute: Islamists Inside the Wire

Egyptian authorities last month arrested a local employee with the U.S. embassy in Cairo. It turns out he was actively involved with the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that has properly been declared a terrorist organization in Egypt.

Incredibly, he was also reportedly in charge of the embassy’s “political Islam” portfolio. Is it any wonder that the Obama administration has been so supportive of this Islamist group, which is sworn to our destruction?

Ten influential national security professionals yesterday warned of a similar problem with Muslim Brotherhood penetration and influence operations – not overseas, but here, within the conservative movement and Republican Party. These leaders have called on the American Conservative Union to take corrective action.

And Team Obama must do the same, by ending its ties to and support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
